SpaceX plans to launch 27 more Starlink internet satellites into low-earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base after two were scrapped, including one because of a Delta jet flying nearby.

Cracks have appeared in the modules, and vital systems have started to degrade. Even its once pristine solar panels, which powered countless experiments, have been ravaged by the harsh conditions of space. Russia has reported that much of its portion of the station is no longer fit for the rigours of spaceflight.

If there is a leader in the aerospace industry, SpaceX is it. The company's Crew Dragon and Cargo Dragon spacecrafts are the current go-to vehicles to deliver astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station.

While SpaceX lost the upper stage of its new Starship in a flight test, the futuristic spacecraft presages a spaceflight revolution, says a leading U.S. space scholar.

The Federal Aviation Administration has paused SpaceX's the launch of its Starship rocket as the U.S. agency oversees an investigation by the private company of the breakup after a test launch Thursday.

If the weather cooperates, the Starship launch will follow the maiden flight of Jeff Bezos' already weather-delayed New Glenn rocket.

One of the two astronauts stranded at the International Space Station (ISS) has taken their first space walk since arriving at the station nearly seven months ago.

While Jeff Bezos has spent $14 billion to achieve his first space launch, his billionaire rival has built a thriving business, mostly with other people’s money.

Flawed rocket launches by SpaceX and Blue Origin still leave both companies in position to dominate the space sector.

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are waiting for their new ride back to Earth via SpaceX’s Crew Dragon this spring.

SpaceX plans to launch the seventh full-scale test flight of its massive Super Heavy booster and Starship rocket Thursday afternoon. It's the first of what might be a dozen or more demonstration flights this year as SpaceX tries new things with the most powerful rocket ever built.
